I am really surprised why they can not put the last name. Without the last name the birth certificate may not be complete (although it will still have your parent's names). Check with others from Mumbai. Also, sometimes they create problem in order to squeeze some money.
The whole process should not take more than a week. Say, 3 days for medical (in case, one has to repeat some procedure. And it had happened in case of my wife - there was a special x-ray done for her to make sure everything was fine with her). It is better to arrange the medical appointment from...
I guess the attorney does not know about the AC-140 process. I think you should go to the immihelp.com and get the details and send that to your attorney. For AC-140 all you need is the 824 reciept. If you wait for the NVC approval then it is not AC-140. The whole idea is to by-pass the NVC...
gc_mangta,
I do agree with KD. There is no point correcting INS even if they made mistake. AC140 is safe and quick route to GC. I just wish I knew about it earlier.
forgot to thank all the folks here who kept replying to my posts at blitzing pace and helped me prepare well. I really appreciate this community effort. I am really at peace now because of you all.

successful CP in Mumbai
Had a successful CP in Mumbai and with this the INS trial and tribulations seem to end(?). The interview was routine - no question asked. The paperwork was complete and the guy who handled the paper seemed to be satisfied. There was a mistake in my wife's mom's name...
Hi Divekar,
Do you have the copy of the e-mail from the consulate which says that you don;t require the local police clearance? I will really appreciate if you can send it to me at krakesh@hotmail.com. The consulate web-site info is bit vague on the topic. It will really help me a lot...

thanks KD!
I am filling it for CP and I have my wife and 2 kids. I have 2 further clarifications:
1. do we fill I-134 for each of them?
2. are you saying I don;t have ot list my wife and kids since they are on H4?
thanks

thanks KD!
but where on the seb-site do they mention that it has to be only rupee draft? The table just shows the conversion rate so that people can make dd in INR. And here is the line from that page:
All fees must be paid by bank drafts and drawn on nationalized or foreign banks...
somewhere I had read that you can also pay cash! Well idea is not to create unnecessary confusion at this moment. But I would really prefer to pay directly in terms of US $ . Is cashier check good enough? I have never used it in US :) Is it same as DD in India?

demand draft in US currency
Thanks KD!
I am much relieved now. There is one more thing I would like to clarify: is it OK to make the DDs here itself and save myslef the misery of going to an Indian Bank and standing in long queue?
thanks in advance

salary increase
Hi All,
That brings a very good question in the forum. In my case the salary has jumped appreciably and today when I talked to the attorney she gave me a cautionary note too. But then I am working for the employer for last 5 years! My labor was filed 4 years back and the...
re: Question on I-824
Raju,
AC-140 gave people an opportunity when their 824 was getting delayed (it takes about 18 months for the approval these days). In your case 824 does not come into picture. Your file will move to NVC shortly after 140 approval which then generates the case no. and...
Re: Question for I-824
Since, you have already opted for CP in 140 you don't have to file 824. It has been mostly used by people trying to jump to CP after the I-140 got approved for 485.
